DJ Reviews: Lonely Heart Drive by Electowave
Hey there folks its DJ Dizzy here & I'm back with another review & this time around its Electowave with their new track Lonely Heart Drive.
The song
Now to start off this review I have to say it was a real cynth overload because this song relied heavily on the elcotronic synth sound with some undertones of EDM thrown in & well they really let the music speak for itself on this track which gave it sort of an intense sound on its end to be honest when you think of a song about having a lonely heart I was sort of expecting to have some lyrics to the track but it is interesting to have the music say something.
The Video
The video for it mostly emphssized the concept a lonely heart there were also messges scattered around such as I miss you & I'll call you & I felt like it gave the song/vid a sort of stalker vibe, Now no dsrespect to Electowave but when you do a song thats about a lonely heart the thing to do is to have a mellow sound & meaningful lyrics but you can be the judge for it.
Some of it didn't really match what ut was trying to speak on & it looked like something put together at random & just spun together some random locals in the process so to be honest they could've done a better job.
In Conclusion
The song & video weren't really on point with ech other & I was expecting something on the mellow side of things no disrespect to Electowave but things weren't really on point with each other & whie it was oversaturated with synth it was still a decent bop its my personal opion that this wasn't really the best track by Electowave so its a 5 out of 10.
You can check out the video vua the link below & until then I'll catch you on The Flipside! Stay frosty & rock n roll.

DJ Interviews:Izamanya
Here's my interview with Switzerland based singing dou Izamanya who shared their musical origins
DIZZY How'd you get started in music?
IZAMANYA Over the years we have participated in or produced various bands and projects. We sold a lot of records back then and also gained touring experience. Our career started in switzerland years ago and in between we also played in wacken and a lot of great festivals all over Europe. With all these experiences we did a restart with the IZAMANYA project in 2016.
DIZZY Who are your inspirations or influences?
IZA: In terms of singing, I was fortunate to have a very talented vocal coach at the very beginning of my musical career Unfortunately, he died much too early, and I have not been able to really open up to any person/coach since then. I’m discovering and creating my own style and technique.
MANY I started playing guitar @age 13 – then joined my first rock band at 17. Since then, I have had some guitar teachers in different music styles “on and off”. Most of the time I was learning by doing. Generally, I practice/play the guitar between 3-6 hours every day– and it still feels like there are no limits and definitely no ends to my process.
DIZZY What advice would you offer aspiring performers?
IZAMANYA There are always ups and downs – we think the most important and difficult is to maintain a long-term vision, to have endurance and stay focused on our goals! You can't take it for granted to always have the chance to work as a team on songs and sounds – remaining independent, openminded – and flexible - do your daily instrumental exercises and and ...of course a lot of fun!!
DIZZY How do you set yourselves apart from other bands or singers?
IZAMANYA The Izamanya sound results from a union of our personalities - instruments and voice. It's important not to chase any trends and to remain authentic. With so many different terms and subcategories in metal, we actually have no idea where we are classified? In any case, we are proud to have achieved an “Izamanya” sound. Music is on the one hand a vocation, a feeling, a state of mind in which I like to be, for me an eternal search for personal development.... I would say a life task. In addition, you can say and express so much through music...also provoke or give courage....in any case we carry responsibility with our music. We certainly allow the current world events or moods to flow into our sound, because it influences us heavily. If the Izamanya – rock can do something to improve the world – then we've achieved more than expected.
DIZZY Any new gigs or albums in the future?
IZAMANYA We have been busy writing songs over the last few months and now have a big bag full of “preproduction” with which we are recording the full wadding in the studio. Gradually release 4 CD's in 2024 / 2025 and a complete vinyl longplayer. At the same time we will continue to promote our riffs acoustic / guitar & vocals and then start an Izamanya Bang your Head tour with the full band in Switzerland. Of course we hope that it will also go abroad. We will see - and are excited to see what the future has in store.

DJ Interviews: Frank Schmitz
Here's my interview with Frank Schmitz at musik post.com
How'd you get started in music?
I've always been interested in music and enjoyed singing along to my favorite songs, but it wasn't until 2016 that I had the time to buy a guitar and learn how to play. And I was already good at writing lyrics as a schoolboy. So I came up with more and more lyrics. In 2021, the time had finally come for me to release my first song.
Who are your inspirations or influences?
I'm not the youngest anymore, so of course I grew up with all the well-known groups and solo artists that everyone knows. It's important to me that songs are melodic and rhythmic, but I also love ballads. For example, I like some songs by the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Bee Gees, Hollies, Elton John, Leonhard Cohen, Eric Clapton, Barry Manilow, Bruce Springsteen, John Legend, Pink, Ed Sheeran, Michael Bublé, Lady Gaga and other younger groups and artists. And they have certainly inspired me in some way. It's difficult to pinpoint a specific group or artist.
What advice would you offer aspiring performers?
As I said, I'm no longer the youngest, but I'm relatively young in the music industry. As a result, I naturally don't have as much experience from which aspiring artists can benefit. But because of my life experience and the personal development that I have actively undergone, I think it's important not to let family or friends dissuade you from your path. Of course, the first songs are not perfect and later on you will realize that there is still a lot of room for improvement. So go your own way, don't let yourself be put off and, above all, persevere. You don't win fans overnight.
How do you set yourself apart from other bands or singers?
It is very important to me to inspire people with my music and my lyrics, to give them food for thought, to give them courage, to cheer them up, to give them joy and also to show them that there is always a way out of difficult situations. Through my life experience, my personal development and the many books I have read, I want to give other people something that will make their lives more beautiful, more colorful and easier. I am also convinced that music can connect people with each other and thus the whole world.
Any new gigs or albums in the future?
I've only released one album so far and that was in German. With this album I am supporting a hospice that took wonderful care of my dying mother at the time. I plan to release an album with my English songs at some point. But I haven't yet come up with a suitable social idea that I could sponsor.
On 24th May 2024 I'm releasing a great new song that was written in collaboration with a Canadian musician and an English producer. It's about wolves. You will be surprised. We've managed to combine a serious topic with fast-paced and danceable music. And on July 19th, 2024, I'm releasing another song with the same people involved, which is about something very fast and sporty. Let me surprise you

DJ Interviews: Divarella
Here's my interview with singer, Divarella who sat down with me to speak on her musical beginnings
Here are the questions
How'd you get started in music?
I started at a very young age. I remember checking my nursery English textbook for rhymes that I could turn into a song, it was more of a hobby for me then. I even wrote a song in the middle of an exam in secondary school. It happens whenever I zone out of my immediate environment(whatever the trigger is) and I find myself in this space right inside my mind, it's beautiful and therapeutic.
Who are your inspirations or influences?
Growing up I had none, everyone in my family had different tastes in music, nothing peculiar but along the way, I became drawn to pop music and also interested in sounds like Avril Lavigne, Sia, Taylor Swift and Little Mix. These stars shaped my life- teenage years up till present.
What advice would you offer aspiring performers?
Well as an aspiring artist myself, it's not been easy but I'd say that consistency is really needed in this field. Remember why you're into it in the first place and remind yourself of it, at all times. Tread at your own pace and don't compare yourself to other artists, you're different and let people see why you are.
How do you set yourself apart from other bands or singers?
Presently, I'd say everyone has similar sounds but then it's okay. Major difference would be the aesthetic, your aura as an artist. I mostly write songs about my personal life experiences which usually have a sad yet calm vibe to it, although I try to switch up once in a while, so nothing is off limits. My music is my diary which I want to share with anyone who's interested enough to listen.
I have two singles (titled Roses Are Red and Your Heart) coming out this Friday (May 10) and I'm so excited! I can't wait to share it with everyone. I'm also working on my releasing my first EP album by late June or early July. Stay tuned.

DJ Interviews: Ghanima Galach
Here's my interview with singer Ghanima Galach
How'd you get started in music?
I grew up in an artistic environment (my parents are both musicians) where classical music was prevalent, but I developed a strong passion for rock and heavy metal, so I started to learn electric guitar. Later on, I attended music school at my hometown's main university and eventually joined several rock and metal bands.
2020 lockdown came, and that's when I decided to go on solo, founding a project based on synths, to explore atmospheric and experimental music. I also have a solo black metal project.
Who are your inspirations or influences?
From classic rock acts such as Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, UFO, Scorpions, and NWOBHM bands to heavier stuff, including several black metal, doom, death, and heavy metal bands,.
I also share a great love for artists like Vangelis, Jean-Michel Jarre, Alphaville, Kraftwerk, and others.
What advice would you offer aspiring performers?
If you are not passionate about it, better find another gig. When you do it for the money, you will soon be disappointed. Try to learn something new every day and show respect for your craft.
How do you set yourself apart from other bands or singers?
I really never thought about that. I'd say that the wide variety of influences and styles that are displayed in my musical projects set them apart from the rest.
Any new gigs or albums in the future?
Regarding my black metal project (Khlyst), a new album is in the making and is expected to be released in October.
Ghanima Galach, which is my atmospheric/synth/dark ambient act, is now on hold just to let me focus on the production of the aforementioned project.

DJ Interviews: Bottlecap Mountain
Here's my interview with Bottlecap Mountain who sat down with me to discuss their musical beginngs.
How'd you get started in music?
My dad’s a drummer, played professionally my whole life, I was always around it. I started with drums and I always sang. Started learning the guitar around 14, played in some high school bands, started playing professionally after high school around Austin. Met and played in a band with Ray (drums) and Doug (guitar, backing vocals) called The Spoiled for a few years. Started Bottlecap Mountain after making what started out as a solo record in 2013. Been great friends with Chris (bass) for years and I met Yvonne (keys, backing vocals) around 2014.
Who are your inspirations or influences?
Lots of those but to name a few:
The Beatles of course, Elvis Costello, Tom Petty, Springsteen, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Hendrix, The Who, The Kinks, R.E.M., PJ Harvey, The Stones, The Velvet Underground, Bob Dylan, Talking Heads…
What advice would you offer aspiring performers?
Get out there and do it, cut your teeth. Be true to yourself, be honest. Aspire to be great, not for fame or fortune but for the craft, for the cause so to speak. Don’t settle for mediocrity. At the end of the day, are you happy with what you’re putting out into the world?
How do you set yourself apart from other bands or singers?
I mean, everyone wants to set themselves apart right? Again, I think being true to yourself, being honest, having a point of view. We try to treat everything we do as if it’s the best thing we’ve ever done, all killer, no filler! Of course it doesn’t always work out that way but just because you don’t think it’s great doesn’t mean that someone else won’t. Respect your audience and respect yourself. Give it your all and that automatically sets you apart.
Any new gigs or albums in the future?
Our 7th studio album “Electric Love Spree” comes out on June 4, we’re super excited about it!
And yeah, we play regularly around Austin so if you’re in the area chances are you’ll have a chance to see us. We might do a little tour this year too but still in the planning stages. You can keep up to date with us by following us on the socials and checking out our website: http://
